Those look amazing Gabe!! Please take a bunch of step by step pics of yourself doing the cutting of the fenders. I know their are others out there, but I'd like to see some fresh ones from you, if possible.

 

I've been putting off that same job. I have the ZG's on w/o cut fenders, but they need to be done properly.

Hey Gabe wheels look good. When you go to put on your flairs and are using the riv-nuts here is a good DIY riv-nut tool I found this week when i was replacing some on a motorcycle sub-frame. I didnt have a tool to crimp them properly when i did my zg's and i tried to weld them in place and well I suck at welding and they didnt turn out all that great. I wish I would of had the correct tool or the tool I made this week. It works so much nicer. I suggest using a thicker piece of scrap metal than he did but you get the idea. I used a nice 1"x4"x1/4" piece of steel. Make sure you get the hole the right size. Oh yeah you can get 6mm riv-nuts if you want to keep them metric which i like doing on my car and hate that i have 1/4 20 bolts on mine. Check out ebay for them. They seemed to have the best prices riv nut tool

Ahem. Tires? ;)

 

LOL.. Oops hehehe.. Sorry Drax.. I have old used tires on there right now they are.. out back 255-40R17s.. up front.. drivers side is a 235-45R17 and passenger is a 245-45R17.

 

I hope to get tires next week. I will be going with 275-40R17s out back and 245-45R17s up front..

Tire heights are as follows..

275-40R17 = 10.8 wide and 25.66 Tall Rears

 

245-45R17 = 9.64 wide and 25.68 tall Front

245-40R17 = 9.64 wide and 24.71 tall Front

255-40R17 = 10.03 wide and 25.03 tall Front

I am a little on the fence with going to a 245-40 or a 245-45 for the front. It seems that the 255-40's are a little wider and seem to be a problem rubbing on things.

 

 

 

 

jeff, Thanks man! yeah Austin is going to let me use his rivnut tool. I cant wait to get the flares on the Z!.. I painted my tail light panel last night and will put it back together tonight and snap some pics.

Ok more updates. The wheels are wider then my old ones and when you turn right to opposite lock the right wheel was going into my wheel well I made. Soo I had to cut a triangle out of it and weld in new metal. I have it seam sealed and will paint it tonight. Also while my Z is down I took my tail light panels apart and painted them Satin black. I think they turned out pretty good!
